1MVA 34.5kV Pad-Mounted Zig-Zag Grounding Transformer NEMA 4X 316 Stainless Steel Enclosure CSA Standards

This 1 MVA pad-mounted zig-zag grounding transformer is configured for 34500Y/19920V, 60Hz medium-voltage systems in outdoor utility, renewable-energy, and industrial power applications. Designed in accordance with applicable ANSI/IEEE C57.12.00 and CSA requirements, it provides a 120A continuous neutral-current rating and a short-time current capability of 1000A for 10 seconds.

Built with a 316 stainless-steel tank, cabinet, and base platform in a NEMA 4X configuration, the unit offers enhanced corrosion resistance for demanding outdoor environments. Its 200kV BIL insulation level, 900A deadbreak elbow connections, separately installed 36kV surge arresters, and four-channel winding-and-core temperature monitoring support dependable operation and comprehensive condition monitoring.

A zig-zag grounding transformer establishes an accessible neutral point for a medium-voltage system where a suitable neutral is not otherwise available. It provides a controlled path for zero-sequence and ground-fault current, allowing protective devices to detect and isolate ground faults while helping stabilize the system phase-to-ground voltage.

• 316 Stainless Steel Enclosure & Tank Construction

  Built with premium 316 stainless steel for the tank, cabinet, and base platform, offering superior corrosion resistance for harsh coastal, industrial, or high-humidity outdoor installations.

• 1000A / 10s Short-Time Current Capability

  Designed to withstand grounding fault current of up to 1000A for 10 seconds, supporting reliable operation during short-duration system ground-fault conditions.

• 200kV BIL and 900A Deadbreak Connection System

  Equipped with 38kV class 200kV BIL standoff bushings, 900A deadbreak elbow connectors, and integrated 36kV surge arresters for reliable high-voltage dead-front termination.

• Four-Channel Thermal Monitoring

  Four internal temperature sensors—one on each coil and one on the core—are connected to a Qualitrol TR6000 temperature indicator for continuous monitoring of key internal thermal conditions.

• Qualitrol Protection and Instrumentation Package

  Outfitted with top-tier Qualitrol accessories including a sudden pressure relay (900-FLA-Q-060-STD), pressure relief valve (LPRD), oil level gauge, and pressure indicator with alarm contacts.

     

     

• Oil Level Indicator (Qualitrol LLG042) — Displays the insulating-oil level with high- and low-level alarm contacts for continuous fluid monitoring.
• Liquid Temperature Gauge (Qualitrol TR6000) — Provides clear liquid-temperature indication with high- and low-temperature contacts for alarm and control functions.
• Pressure/Vacuum Indicator — Displays the sealed tank’s internal pressure and vacuum condition with high- and low-pressure contacts.
• Pressure Relief Device (Qualitrol LPRD) — Automatically releases excessive internal pressure to help protect the sealed transformer tank.
• Rapid Pressure Rise Relay (Qualitrol 900-FLA-Q-060-STD) — Detects sudden internal pressure increases and provides a signal to the transformer protection system.
• Winding and Core Temperature Monitoring — Uses four internal sensors, one on each winding coil and one on the core, to monitor critical thermal conditions.
• H0 Neutral Bushing — Provides the neutral and grounding connection through a live-front bushing with a NEMA four-hole spade.
• 900A Deadbreak HV Connections — Provide shielded separable cable connections for the three high-voltage phases.
• 36kV Surge Arresters — One arrester per phase provides additional protection against incoming overvoltage surges.
• Two-Position Load Break Switch — A 200A, 38kV switch provides convenient manual switching and circuit isolation in the HV compartment.
• Oil Drain and Sampling Valve — Supports efficient oil draining and representative insulating-oil sampling.
• NEMA Grounding Bar — Provides a robust protective-grounding connection securely bonded to the 316 stainless-steel tank.
